Just beyond the Badaling section of the Great Wall, about a hundred kilometers from Beijing, lies Chicheng County in Zhangjiakou City.
Locals in Chicheng often proudly say, “Half of Beijing’s cup of water comes from Chicheng.” Since ancient times, this area has been an important water source for Beijing. To safeguard that “half cup,” the people of Chicheng have remained committed to preserving the greenery of northern Beijing.
The creation of Chicheng Hot Springs has benefited from the nurturing of this lush environment.
Skiing in winter is undoubtedly one of the best ways to unleash your passion. Racing down snow-white slopes, you can experience the thrill of speed. At the same time, skiing enhances cardiovascular health and helps alleviate symptoms of “winter depression” such as melancholy, fatigue, and low mood.
Skiing combined with hot springs is a reason many people fall in love with winter. Imagine gliding freely through pristine snow, weaving through mountain ranges, then soaking in steaming hot spring pools to unwind — it’s the perfect way to embrace the joy of winter.
While Chicheng Hot Springs has long been famous, skiing here is just getting started. Next year, once the ski resort is completed, Chicheng County — home to these two beloved winter recreational activities — will surely bring more excitement and delight to the northern Beijing winter.
